Synchronized swimming classes on tap

SANDPOINT — Sandpoint Parks & Rec and the Sandpoint West Athletic Club are teaming up to offer a fun activity for those who like dancing, gymnastics and swimming.

Synchronized swimming uses the grace of dance and the power of gymnastics to perform fun water skills like somersaults, walkovers, oysters, torpedo sculls and more. Goggles and nose plugs recommended.

Prerequisites are that participants must be age 8 years or older and have the ability to competently float, submerge in five feet of water, and swim 25 meters in both the front crawl and breaststroke.

Classes are at the SWAC (1905 Pine St.) on Fridays from 3:30–4:30 p.m. Sessions begin the first Friday of the month (Nov. 3) and the months of January and April in 2018. Registration deadlines are two days prior to session start dates. Register for the Nov. 3 Session by Nov. 1. The class fee is $40/session ($5 city discount). There is a minimum of four and a maximum of 10 participants for this class, so register early to guarantee your spot.
